Tehran Billboard Shows Trump Lying In Coffin With Caption Stating: ‘We Will Kill Trump’
NEW YORK (VINnews) — The funeral procession of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was accompanied by calls for revenge and demands to assassinate the President of the United States. On Wednesday, a massive billboard was placed in Revolution Square in Tehran, showing Donald Trump lying in a coffin, alongside text in Persian and English stating: “We will kill Trump.”
Threats against Trump are clearly visible on billboards throughout Iran, as an integral part of the messaging campaign promoted by the ayatollah regime. In fact, this giant poster is only one more element in that campaign.
Last week, the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal reported that Israel had recently provided the United States with intelligence indicating that Iran was considering an assassination attempt against Trump. According to the report, the intelligence suggested that Iran has wanted to target Trump since he ordered the killing of Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani at the end of his first term in office in 2020.
A day after the Wall Street Journal report, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee confirmed that “Israeli intelligence warned the White House about a specific assassination plot against Trump.”
However, the newspaper also reported that American officials “fear that Israel shared only partial intelligence regarding the threat, partly in an effort to push the United States back into a full-scale war with Iran.” According to those officials, the president’s decision to return to the United States from the NATO summit in Turkey aboard the presidential aircraft Air Force One was made after Israel shared intelligence about the possible assassination plot.
Concerns were heightened further following a report by The New York Times claiming that the new Air Force One aircraft that Trump received as a gift from Qatar lacks sufficient defensive systems.
